    Hello guys! I'm a seventeen year old, I'm new and I want to make this brief so I'll just start.

    I want to get rid of my habit of watching porn(as it been with me for as long as I can remember and its not helpful). I've tried cutting out porn before and the longest time of I've managed to go without ejaculating is 80ish days but it was filled with edging. I ended up relapsing so I tried again but this time I would masturbate every couple of days to a week but without porn(I've been trying to for the last couple of months). This frankly does not work because although I went about a month without watching porn but being able to masturbate I still ended up watching porn. During the weekdays I am usually able to stave off porn but the moment the weekend hits and I have much more time on my hands, I end up wanting to watch porn and I can't stop.

    This is the problem, I have trouble letting my thoughts go. Although I try and recognize that me visualizing porn in my head is me just thinking, I still end up going to my room and rubbing one out to a video. To make matters worse, after rubbing one out it'll take me about an hour and I'll want to rub a second one out.

    I feel like porn is the one habit that holding me back right now as often when I am working on schoolwork or something of the sort my thoughts turn to porn and I end up relapsing. I think that my productivity would rise a lot if I could just learn how to let my thoughts about porn go. I feel like I'm headed in the right direction as I workout regularly, I love playing sports, I meditate, take cold showers, read as much as I can, have good grades, have lots of friends but I feel like I'm held back by my frequent use of porn, I habit I just can't seem to get rid off (I haven't given up that's why I'm here) with the only other problem I have is that I have a horrible anger inside of me that I also can't get rid of.

    Anyways, I come here looking for support and advice to get rid of this bad habit so I can improve myself as a person. (I do imagine that once I truly stop watching porn, the results will be like one of a keystone habit and I'll go super saiyan or someshit and be able to fly)

    Intrusive thoughts is a very common symptom of addiction and a few other illnesses.
    Educating ourselves in this matter is a good first step to take in order to deal with it.

    Tip: Trying to concentrate on other things like God, work, hobbies, family, friends, etc. Is a good way to deal with it.
